What Our Members Are Saying about the
Real Buick Enclave MPG

More than reasonable for a 5000 lb vehicle. Benefits of aero design ( for an SUV ) and six speed transmission both contribute.

Better than competition with regular gas

2008

4dr SUV 288-hp 3.6L V6 6-sp shiftable automatic FWD

for an 8 passenger vehicle that can tow 4,500 pounds. I cannot complain about 19.3 mpg city and 24.7 mpg highway.

Well under (15-20%) below the EPA ratings, though the engine is STILL brand new (<400 miles total).

This is the one thing that is a weak point. at 12-16 MPG, this car could use a larger and more efficient engine. Had GM not folded, there was talks of a hybrid version (which still may come out as a Caddy) which we would definitely buy without hesitation.

Car is still in break-in period, but not seeing anything close to advertised mileage.

It actually gets great mileage for its size and weight, but hey, its not a Prius.

Hey, at $4.00/gallon getting only 22 mpg hurts. We take the econo-car most of the time.
